      Shared with @reshare_app • @marinareads19 Book Rev Shared with @reshare_app • @marinareads19 Book Review (464 - 2026) . Judul : Srivijaya Pengarang : Herald Van Der Linde Penerbit : @monsoonbooks Halaman : 483 Halaman Genre : Sejarah Asia Tenggara Format : E-book Rating : 3,4/5✨️ . Kalau sebelumnya penulis menceritakan kisah kerajaan Majapahit kali ini beliau mengisahkan kerajaan Sriwijaya salah satu kerajaan terkuat yang menguasai perdagangan di Asia dan juga menjalin hubungan dagang dengan Tiongkok dan India. . Aku menyukai buku ini apalagi dilihat dari berbagai sumber yang dikumpulkan bagaimana Kerajaan Sriwijaya berdiri, awal mula ada hubungan dagang, masa-masa keemasan kerajaan sriwijaya hingga keruntuhan kerajaannya. . Buku ini dibagi menjadi tiga bagian yaitu bagian pertama inagurasi candi borobudur di tahun 824 CE. Bagian kedua sejarah kejayaan Sriwijaya dan mulai dibangunnya candi Borobudur. Terakhir masa-masa tentara kerajaan India di Chola menyerang kerajaan Sriwijaya di tahun 1025 CE. . Buku ini merupakan pelengkap dari kisah-kisah kerajaan sriwijaya yang kita temukan di buku-buku sejarah. Patut dibaca agar bisa mendapatkan kisah kerajaan ini lebih komprehensif .

      Shared with @reshare_app • @tari_lang Indonesia Shared with @reshare_app • @tari_langIndonesia has lost one of her treasured sons. @guruh_sukarno_putra, youngest son of President Sukarno and First Lady Fatmawati passed today, way too early. He was as passionate about politics as much as he was about culture, music and choreography. We saw him the last time I was in Jakarta, two weeks before lockdown when I was fact-checking My Neighbour, The Dictator by speaking to old friends and family and gaining permission to use their stories in the book. (They all gave permission, most asked me to change their names). It was Mas Guruh’s birthday so we got to join the party which was a joy. Rest in Peace.
      Shared with @reshare_app • @giringdibudaya Teman Shared with @reshare_app • @giringdibudayaTeman-teman sudah baca buku terbaru Bapak @heraldvdl berjudul Srivijaya? Atau sudah selesai baca juga buku Majapahit-nya? Nah, kalau sudah, pasti familiar dengan berbagai kisah dan tokoh yang diangkat di dalamnya, dan ternyata arca maupun prasastinya bisa langsung disaksikan di @museumnasionalindonesia!Kali ini, Mas Wamen @giring mengajak kita menelusuri beberapa di antaranya. Ada Arca Harihara, perwujudan Raden Wijaya, pendiri Kerajaan Majapahit, yang ditemukan di Candi Simping, Blitar. Ada Prasasti Telaga Batu, prasasti Kerajaan Sriwijaya dari abad ke-7 berisi sumpah setia sekaligus kutukan bagi siapa pun yang berkhianat pada raja. Ada Arca Manjusri dari abad ke-10, sosok Bodhisattwa yang melambangkan kebijaksanaan tertinggi dalam ajaran Buddha Mahayana. Ada pula salah satu mahakarya seni klasik Nusantara yang oleh sebagian sejarawan diyakini terhubung dengan garis keturunan ratu-ratu Jawa kuno, termasuk Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi.Dan yang terbaru, satu lagi jejak penting peradaban Nusantara resmi hadir di Museum Nasional Indonesia. Arca Prajnaparamita yang baru saja diresmikan oleh Menteri Kebudayaan kini melengkapi koleksi museum dan membuka semakin banyak ruang bagi masyarakat untuk mengenal sejarah bangsa secara langsung.Teman-teman, jangan lupa baca kedua buku ini dan pelajari langsung betapa hebatnya nenek moyang bangsa kita, sekaligus mampir ke Museum Nasional Indonesia untuk melihat sendiri jejak sejarahnya. Inilah semangat yang terus kita hidupkan, mengenal sejarah agar semakin bangga menjadi Indonesia. Sejalan dengan visi Bapak Presiden @prabowo, warisan para pendahulu menjadi fondasi penting untuk membangun bangsa yang semakin kuat, maju, dan tetap teguh pada jati dirinya.
